Lex Veldhuis will host his namesake tournament series for the third time.

The third edition of the popular Lex Live series sees Team PokerStars�� Lex Veldhuis and company head to Aspers Casino in Stratford, London from April 17.

Aspers Casino is one of the biggest casinos in the United Kingdom and is a fitting venue for the event, allowing hundreds of participants to compete in Lex Live 3.

The Lex Live series has proven immensely popular since its first event in March 2019. With Veldhuis as the tournament��s host and frontman, the tour aims to bring together Veldhuis�� ever-growing Twitch community in a live setting.

Each stop is full of fun and banter with some excellent, and often unique tournaments for players to get involved with.

Lex Live 3 only has an affordable ��230 buy-in Main Event, but it should be massive thanks to it featuring five starting flights. Aspers Casino Stratford has a vibrant poker community and its poker room is usually bustling from the second it opens. Add Veldhuis�� legion of fans to these Aspers regulars and online satellite qualifiers and you have all the ingredients for a gigantic prize pool.

��Lex Live 2 was a massive success. Everyone had a great time, so there was absolutely no reason to switch to a different venue,�� said Veldhuis to the PokerStars Blog. ��It just felt like a home run. I took a lot of feedback from people and everyone said the location was perfect.

��I can��t encourage people enough to come. It��s a great social event, and I think it would be great for people to get out and experience it. You��ll see there are so many people just like you.��
